Accenture and Snowflake are expanding their collaboration to scale generative AI innovation and business outcomes for clients, such as Caterpillar. With the formation of the Accenture Snowflake Business Group, announced the companies can help more enterprises reinvent their business models by harnessing the power of cloud, AI and data, anchored by AccentureAI Refinery??, and recent innovations such as Snowflake Intelligence and Snowflake Cortex AI. The new Accenture Snowflake Business Group builds on a long-standing partnership focused on helping clients transform their data into a core business asset.
The group will be supported by more than 5,000 Accenture Snowflake Pro-certified people - the largest certified talent pool in the ecosystem. It is dedicated to helping organizations across industries migrate to the cloud, create AI-ready data estates, and accelerate AI innovations that drive new value and business outcomes. This is a key focus for enterprise clients: 85% of c-suite leaders plan to increase AI investments this year, with 67% viewing AI primarily as a driver of revenue growth rather than just a means to cut costs, according to recent Accenture research.
As part of the Accenture Snowflake business Group, the companies will jointly invest in the establishment of a global Center of Excellence, where specialized Accenture and Snowflake teams will work side-by-side with clients to rapidly apply the latest technologies, and co-create new assets and solutions. The business group will tap into Accenture's deep industry experience, business reinvention capabilities, and ecosystem relationships, as well as the Accenture AI Refinery platform. This can help clients jump-start custom data journeys and lay the groundwork for agentic capabilities, leveraging Snowflake's AI Data Cloud for scalability and governance.
